#that we;re talking about extremes of attitudes rather than individual complex people

[softness-and-shattering]

Oh, yeah, of course. No one with a stake in the patriarchy says "oh you're a guy actually? Sweet, lets get you set up with those privileges". They say "you're delusional and I will force you back into your place of servitude, little girl". Transmascs arent a win for the patriarchy, we're all gender traitors, all trans people are. To posit otherwise its actually ludicrous. Those macho guys have 'hard-won' their place as manly man safe from ridicule, they're not welcoming anyone into that club, its exclusive.

And Im starting to feel like I need to caveat these posts with, we're talking about a certain type of person. Unfortunately there are many of them, but they aren't all of humanity. We have allies, and we have people who dont care either way. Not every single cis person alive is incredibly dangerous. Obviously some are and obviously we have to be careful. I just also dont want to be spreading an idea that we're fucked and its all doom and gloom. We have each other, and we have allies and supporters and neutral people. We have spaces where its safe, or more safe than other places. When we're talking about this its more in the extremes, we're talking broadly about people in general, usually people who lean more asshole and bigot, more patriarchal and white supremacist. That isnt everyone I dont want to terrify anyone.

I’ve said it before + it’s becoming true again this time. Whenever I’m alone (i.e., without a boyfriend) my crossdressing becomes more serious + constant. In my search for the perfect male companion, I find myself. In my need for a man in my bed, I detach myself from my body and my body becomes his; I stroke his hair, I see his wrist. I feel the warm winds blowing my open shirt from my smooth, hard, flat chest. I catch the hungry eyes of another beautiful youngman. I reconsider male hormones—trying to remember why I decided against them before.

Hi. You made a post a couple of days ago about how queer historical fiction doesnt need to be defined only by homophobia. Can you expand on that a bit maybe? Because it seems interesting and important, but I'm a little confused as to whether that is responsible to the past and showing how things have changed over time. Anyway this probably isn't very clear, but I hope its not insulting. Have a good day :)

Hiya. I assume you're referring to this post, yes? I think the main parameters of my argument were set out pretty clearly there, but sure, I'm happy to expand on it. Because I'm a little curious as to why you think that writing a queer narrative (especially a queer fictional narrative) that doesn't make much reference to or even incorporate explicit homophobia is (implicitly) not being "responsible to the past." I've certainly made several posts on this topic before, but as ever, my thoughts and research materials change over time. So, okay.

(Note: I am a professional historian with a PhD, a book contract for an academic monograph on medieval/early modern queer history, and soon-to-be-several peer-reviewed publications on medieval queer history. In other words, I'm not just talking out of my ass here.)

As I noted in that post, first of all, the growing emphasis on "accuracy" in historical fiction and historically based media is... a mixed bag. Not least because it only seems to be applied in the Game of Thrones fashion, where the only "accurate" history is that which is misogynistic, bloody, filthy, rampantly intolerant of competing beliefs, and has no room for women, people of color, sexual minorities, or anyone else who has become subject to hot-button social discourse today. (I wrote a critical post awhile ago about the Netflix show Cursed, ripping into it for even trying to pretend that a show based on the Arthurian legends was "historically accurate" and for doing so in the most simplistic and reductive way possible.) This says far more about our own ideas of the past, rather than what it was actually like, but oh boy will you get pushback if you try to question that basic premise. As other people have noted, you can mix up the archaeological/social/linguistic/cultural/material stuff all you like, but the instant you challenge the ingrained social ideas about The Bad Medieval Era, cue the screaming.

I've been a longtime ASOIAF fan, but I do genuinely deplore the effect that it (and the show, which was by far the worst offender) has had on popular culture and widespread perceptions of medieval history. When it comes to queer history specifically, we actually do not know that much, either positive or negative, about how ordinary medieval people regarded these individuals, proto-communities, and practices. Where we do have evidence that isn't just clerical moralists fulminating against sodomy (and trying to extrapolate a society-wide attitude toward homosexuality from those sources is exactly like reading extreme right-wing anti-gay preachers today and basing your conclusions about queer life in 2021 only on those), it is genuinely mixed and contradictory. See this discussion post I likewise wrote a while ago. Queerness, queer behavior, queer-behaving individuals have always existed in history, and labeling them "queer" is only an analytical conceit that represents their strangeness to us here in the 21st century, when these categories of exclusion and difference have been stringently constructed and applied, in a way that is very far from what supposedly "always" existed in the past.

Basically, we need to get rid of the idea that there was only one empirical and factual past, and that historians are "rewriting" or "changing" or "misrepresenting" it when they produce narratives that challenge hegemonic perspectives. This is why producing good historical analysis is a skill that takes genuine training (and why it's so undervalued in a late-capitalist society that would prefer you did anything but reflect on the past). As I also said in the post to which you refer, "homophobia" as a structural conceit can't exist prior to its invention as an analytical term, if we're treating queerness as some kind of modern aberration that can't be reliably talked about until "homosexual" gained currency in the late 19th century. If there's no pre-19th century "homosexuality," then ipso facto, there can be no pre-19th-century "homophobia" either. Which one is it? Spoiler alert: there are still both things, because people are people, but just as the behavior itself is complicated in the premodern past, so too is the reaction to it, and it is certainly not automatic rejection at all times.

Hence when it comes to fiction, queer authors have no responsibility (and in my case, certainly no desire) to uncritically replicate (demonstrably false!) narratives insisting that we were always miserable, oppressed, ostracised, murdered, or simply forgotten about in the premodern world. Queer characters, especially historical queer characters, do not have to constantly function as a political mouthpiece for us to claim that things are so much better today (true in some cases, not at all in the others) and that modernity "automatically" evolved to a more "enlightened" stance (definitely not true). As we have seen with the recent resurgence of fascism, authoritarianism, nationalism, and xenophobia around the world, along with the desperate battle by the right wing to re-litigate abortion, gay rights, etc., social attitudes do not form in a vacuum and do not just automatically become more progressive. They move backward, forward, and side to side, depending on the needs of the societies that produce them, and periods of instability, violence, sickness, and poverty lead to more regressive and hardline attitudes, as people act out of fear and insularity. It is a bad human habit that we have not been able to break over thousands of years, but "[social] things in the past were Bad but now have become Good" just... isn't true.

After all, nobody feels the need to constantly add subtextual disclaimers or "don't worry, I personally don't support this attitude/action" implied authorial notes in modern romances, despite the cornucopia of social problems we have today, and despite the complicated attitude of the modern world toward LGBTQ people. If an author's only reason for including "period typical homophobia" (and as we've discussed, there's no such thing before the 19th century) is that they think it should be there, that is an attitude that needs to be challenged and examined more closely. We are not obliged to only produce works that represent a downtrodden past, even if the end message is triumphal. It's the same way we got so tired of rape scenes being used to make a female character "stronger." Just because those things existed (and do exist!), doesn't mean you have to submit every single character to those humiliations in some twisted name of accuracy.

Yes, as I have always said, prejudices have existed throughout history, sometimes violently so. But that is not the whole story, and writing things that center only on the imagined or perceived oppression is not, at this point, accurate OR helpful. Once again, I note that this is specifically talking about fiction. If real-life queer people are writing about their own experiences, which are oftentimes complex, that's not a question of "representation," it's a question of factual memoir and personal history. You can't attack someone for being "problematic" when they are writing about their own lived experience, which is something a younger generation of queer people doesn't really seem to get. They also often don't realise how drastically things have changed even in my own lifetime, per the tags on my reblog about Brokeback Mountain, and especially in media/TV.

However, if you are writing fiction about queer people, especially pre-20th century queer people, and you feel like you have to make them miserable just to be "responsible to the past," I would kindly suggest that is not actually true at all, and feeds into a dangerous narrative that suggests everything "back then" was bad and now it's fine. There are more stories to tell than just suffering, queer characters do not have to exist solely as a corollary for (inaccurate) political/social commentary on the premodern past, and they can and should be depicted as living their lives relatively how they wanted to, despite the expected difficulties and roadblocks. That is just as accurate, if sometimes not more so, than "they suffered, the end," and it's something that we all need to be more willing to embrace.

Simple Personal Development Tips That You Should Try

Simple Personal Development Tips That You Should Try

When considering finding the path to personal development, you must remember that every individual is going to find things that work better for them, so you must find what works best for you. Teach yourself as much as you can to enrich your personal development. This article will help you grow and you can use these tips to do that.

Take advantage of the time you spend working, and get as much finished as possible. One effective way to work more efficiently is to schedule more regular break times. While this may sound odd, taking frequent breaks gives you time to relax and re-energize, so when you return to your work, you are more productive.

Take a notebook around with you to jot ideas in. Use a notepad app on your phone or even carry a real notepad with you. Making quick notes about the inspiration as it strikes you will jog your memory and add to the potential that you will later incorporate into a thoughtful creative process.

Stress is one of the biggest enemies of happiness. Being subjected to sustained and extreme stress can have negative mental and physical repercussions. To be able to think clearly, it is important to eliminate stress. Have some time every day when you can relax and meditate in solitude. Having this time every day can make you more peaceful and happy with yourself.

Put your core principles into practice. Everyone has basic principles by which they define themselves. If you stay on top of your morals you will have a boost in self esteem and you will have a good base to defend them. This also helps to make you a consistent person. This is an essential character trait.

Personal Development

Regular exercise is necessary to your personal development. Put yourself on the road to success with personal development by making sure your basic need are met, including adequate amounts of sleep, nutritious food and a regular fitness regimen. A healthy body makes it easier to concentrate on personal development, even though it may be a challenge.

Shying away from a major decision could cheat you of an opportunity to become a better person. You should not avoid decision making, even if you feel that you do not have all the information. When you make the right decisions, you will increase personal development. Even mistaken decisions are valuable because they provide instructive learning experiences. If you make a wrong choice at one point, then you will ensure that your next one will be better.

Instead of bragging abut your achievements and awards, ask other people about what they have accomplished that they are most proud of. This is a wonderful means of learning more about your peers and their abilities; you also might discover a new role model.

If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others. No matter your path, or whether you’re failing or thriving, take time out to restore and rest yourself.

Therapy is a great way for anyone who wishes to work on personal development to explore their own personal demons. Sometimes it takes a professional, outside perspective to identify the real source of a problem and this cannot be found in self-help books. Just talking through your problems can lead you toward success. A mental health professional will be able to open a dialogue that no book ever could.

If you feel you are not making progress, try to see specifically what is keeping you from it. This seems to be hard from some people. Having the ability to identify weakness is very important and can help us to make positive changes in our lives. By removing just a few obstacles in your way, you will discover that your future is much more clear.

Personal Issues

Talking over your personal issues with someone such as a trained counselor or pastor can be an uplifting experience. These people have a lot of experience and expertise in helping people deal with personal issues, and are licensed to do so. You will find that they are eager to hear what you have to say and assess your situation in such a way that will further your personal growth. Talking to someone who knows how to listen and help will make you happier, and allow you to reach your goals.

Do you feel like you drink too much alcohol? Do you make a habit of smoking or engaging in other harmful vices? Our body is sacred, and we should respect it and treat it as so. Kicking your worst habits is a large part of becoming a happier and more healthy individual. Take an honest look at your traits and proclivities and figure out where you can make changes.

Maximize your time for personal development to help you get more done. This trick involves taking more breaks when working. This might sound counterproductive, but breaks allow you to refocus and re-energize, allowing you to return and work more efficiently.

One part of depression you may not thought of to look at is your diet and increasing the amount of complex carbohydrates that you consume. If you do not have an adequate amount of complex carbohydrates in your diet, your serotonin can become depleted. Increase your consumption of fresh fruits, raw vegetables, nuts, brown rice, assorted beans and whole grains to have a diet that is enriched in complex carbohydrates.

Whatever you need, and whatever you decide to do about it, you must at least do one thing. Choose to take real action, everyday, towards your goals and dreams, instead of just watching others from the sidelines. You can always improve yourself as long as you have made the decision to live instead of simply observe.

Comfort shopping is not a good idea. If you find yourself shopping out of habit, take up a hobby to replace the time spent shopping. You can relieve stress, reduce credit card bills and enjoy your time much more.

Base your development plan on your values and goals. It is a waste of time to work on areas of your life that might contradict your values. When you change your attitude and perspective, difficult situations become easier to manage. By doing so, you can make changes in your professional and personal life that will stick with you.

Your personal development goals will often include improving and incorporating new healthy habits into your life. People feel better physically and mentally when in the best shape. Good health slows the aging process, making you look and feel great. Make a goal to improve your fitness and make healthy choices.

You might gain a new sense of happiness by taking on a moderate amount of risk. Many people do not like to take chances because they don’t want to feel like a failure, so they would rather stay cemented in their comfort zone, which often leads to an unfulfilled life. Taking risks shows courage, which is a component that can help you on the path of happiness.

Try challenging yourself as much as possible. These new challenges can create many possibilities. You will see, do and explore more things than you ever thought possible. You could end up creating something new or doing something no one else has done. Do something new and unique, instead of copying others.

Exercise is for everybody. It is not reserved for those who wish to slim down. There are countless physical benefits to exercising. Exercise stimulates the production of substances in your body that help calm you.

To get the most from your personal development efforts, be sure to aim high and value what is best. You need to understand what you are best at and incorporate that activity into your life plan.

It’s good if you take to heart the information you were just given. However, in order to gain the most benefit from this advice, you have to start implementing it. You can’t succeed if you just sit there doing nothing. Use these tips to see if your personal development improves.

James Joyce played an important role in the shaping of literature today through novels and stories he wrote that had deep impact in the world of literature. Joyce was a Dubliner and no matter if the story he wrote was in Dublin or not it would always take readers to the world of Dubilners…

Joyce was an author of Dunlin, for him all that mattered to be told would happen in Dublin. Just like Platoon who searched for the right imaginary state, Joyce experienced all things in life in Dublin therefore delivered his stories through Dublin. In his opinion Dublin was the combination of all things to be respected and ridiculed. Just like several other authors who worked to reach the universal through local (it’s unknown how one can understand the universe without understanding the local) he found the truth within life and talked about things to be done in Dublin for pages and pages in Ulysses. However may be just like his famous Ulysses, what could help us understand Dubliners and therefore Joyce was his work Dubliners.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Joyce was the eldest of 10 siblings. His educational life was mainly with the Jesuits which is of great importance. The Jesuits are the first widespread missionaries in history and therefore they were the benchmark of colonial history. Jesuits would work to Evangelize the geography that they traveled to, they aimed to deliver Christianity without changing native culture in some way they were the first anthropologists. As luck would have it, Joyce is said to have lost his faith in Christianity as a result of his educational in Jesuit schools, when he started at a very young age and ended upon his graduation from university. However it is not surprising that he was from a Jesuit school. The Jesuits were famous for education top level individuals from different fields to serve their purpose. Joyce made it to the University College in Dublin although the Jesuit influence was limited as a result of the Royal University Decree passed in 1879, the lecturers were still Jesuit monks. Joyce was educated on language rather than theology and philosophy. He spared time for extracurricular activities and reading, he specifically read books which were not promoted by Jesuit monks. Later in life Joyce lived in several cities. He decided to be a physician, a banker. He crossed beyond Irish borders. He traveled to Rome, Paris and Zurich and realized that he missed Dublin at the end of the long journey. He loved Dublin, may be his childhood memories about Dublin fed the bad sides of Dublin in his memories although what made the Joyce we know was the unease he felt during the time he was away and fed the good sides of Dublin.

DEPICTIONS OF DUBLIN Dubliners is not only about Dubliners. There are also depictions of Dublin which is the city itself that forms the subsidiary component of life in Dublin. The story “Two Gallants” begins as follows: “On an ash colored mild August evening that fell upon the city was a breeze that reminded the summer on the streets. The shutters were closed for Sunday rest in houses but the streets were cheerful and colorful with the crowds. Street lamps like shiny pearls atop long poles would change the image of things below while the mild summer night changed not with the wuthering lively texture that spread fancy glares.”While he lengthily depicted the streets the weather cast was the psychology of the city in a nutshell.  Dubliners, contains the information of what Dublin is for Joyce along with the residents of the city and the author himself.

“AFTER THE RACE” In his work the Dubliners, Joyce addresses the residents of the city the same way a wise man would address his children. He loves them as well as he criticizes them. First and foremost he talks down on them for not being themselves yet are not as they want to be either. As he tells them not to feel inferior while he unearths the inferiority complex asking them not to envy people from other nations or cities. He also talks about the wrong actions displayed when Dubliners act the way they actually are. There are 15 stories in the book Dubliners and there are different characters from the poorest to the richest parts of the city. The stories by Joyce were written upon the demand of GerorgeRussel for stories on Ireland, the stories which had been published in the magazine through a long time period were later collected into a book. So what did Joyce have to say about Dubliners? For example if we don’t dig deep we will assume that rich Dubliners could satisfy their desires from many aspects and would not have inferiority complex. However in “After the race” Joyce mentions the foreign admiration of top level Dubliners in a condescending manner. Joyce started out to talk about the ordinary life of the ordinary man in order to genuinely reflect the reality of Ireland, and his success comes from not only his observation of the individuals but also for his rich depiction of the objects, places, social life and everything he writes about. This way he mentions the extreme nationalistic approach that is caused by the wannabe attitude by individuals. This is how Dubliners are from Joyce’s opinion. They are never at balance, always on the extremes…

NOTE: James Joyce, has deeply influenced the 20th century literature through his opinion of the art of novel writing, he has also influenced generations of writers to follow, spreading until our day, Joyce is one of the most analyzed authors in terms of academic studies.

EPIPHANY TECHNIQUE The term epiphany was used to describe the action of Greek Gods when they showed their divine qualities to ordinary man. Joyce re-used this term in his-own way. To define the instant when the reality about a person or thing is out in the open-up. He managed to provide details in his observations through experimental epiphanies.
